Dr Christopher Hill researched spirulina in the 70's..I have seen 4 full pages of the vitamins (all of the b's) amino acids, micronutrients, etc...it is considered the most complete food, even by the FDA. It is a complete protein, with almost no fat, and is immediately digested...(beef takes a full day) I make a smoothie every morning with a juice, banana, fruit and a huge heaping amount of powdered Spirulina...I do not have sugar drops, afternoon lags,and my energy is sustained all day long... OK,the down side... it looks like a blue green mess...get over it! You will love how you feel! I use vitamin shoppe because it is the best value I have found.

This stuff is really good for you! Be careful when you blend it though, it gets lumpy! Theres nothing more gross than bitting in a dry lump of spirulina! Also, don't be turned-off by the smell. It smells HORRIBLE! But trust me, you can hardly taste it when you mix it correctly. Add about a half teaspoon to your next smoothie!

>> A Vitamin Shoppe Customer commented on this review on 2012-01-02Typically I blend my smoothie first, then add the spirulina and blend again. Clump free! Hope this helps!

I use this product everyday in my morning smoothie. I combine this with my protein and almond milk in my magic bullet. I have never had any issues with clumping. It has a 'green' taste, but I don't mind it. I have been feeling great since I have started this product. I will continue to use it.

I put spirolina in a smoothy. I use a blender so I have no clumping. I haven't noticed a bad taste or smell. Usually I have frozen bananas in my drink so they make it sweet. An easy way to get good nutrition!

5 stars based on the health value matched with the cost savings. If you don't mind making shakes or filling empty capsules, this stuff is great. (It does taste quite a bit 'green.' haha) I used to buy the pressed pills, but this stuff is half the price. It is a Superfood containing an unusually high amount of protein, between 55% and 77% by dry weight. A complete protein, containing all essential amino acids. It is superior to typical plant protein, such as that from legumes. Contains vitamin B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (nicotinamide), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folic acid), B12 and vitamins C, D and E. MUCH BETTER THAN FISH OIL, studies have shown babies are more developed when given micro-algae over fish oils! Get the nutrients first hand, from their source. ***VS: these other customers are right, we deserve to know More about the source!!!

I love this powder. I throw a cup of milk, 1 banana and 1 tsp of the powder into a blender and VIOLA....delicious breakfast...or quick energy snack during the day. I enjoy it. I have tried it with other fruits, but the banana seems the best!

I used to use a higher priced product, but kinesiologically this one tested great for me, so I enjoy the savings! I add a heaping Tb to a jar with water/lemon juice and stevia in it. I shake it quickly and well and have little problem with clumping. I do have to wipe my nose tho' cuz it does sometimes turn me rather green (0:

Spirulina Powder by Vitamin Shoppe does not mix easy with water or juice. The taste is unbearable, and leaves a black residue that looks like dark charcoal. I had to use it in orange juice or apple sauce to get it to mix somewhat. I recommend you use the capsules instead.

I love spirulina powder. When I don't take it, i feel the difference. It's very easy to digest and love the taste. Makes fruit concoctions taste better. Love the deep green color which signals that it's nutrient dense.

The package does not say WHERE it is manufactured, only that it was manufactured FOR Vitamin Shoppe. The package states that it is a "natural food supplement", but no where does it state that it is organic. It does state that there are no other ingredients other than Spirulina in the powder, unlike the Spirulina capsules that state they are "California grown natural Spirulina" but which contain many other ingredients (I assume to bind the tablets together). The Spirulina powder also states that it is appropriate for most vegetarians.

Best Answer:Although I've been taking the Vitamin Shoppe brand of Spirulina for over 20 years, I'm not sure of the country of origin. For some odd reason I've assumed it was from fresh water ponds in Hawaii but have since learned from a quick online search that it is grown in many countries including China. Sorry I have no more definitive information.

Best Answer:Yes, in all natural environments in California and Hawaii. As long as we can keep companies like the Monsanto Group far and away from organic seed production, it will remain natural and safe.

Best Answer:Spirulina is a fresh-water alga/bacteria with a 60% protein content, many minerals including iron, calcium and magnesium, and vitamins A, B, C, D, and E. I've never heard of bio green (other than as a cleaning product and I'm sure that's not what you're referring to).

There seems to be a lot of controversy about Spirulina... do you know where can I find the most accurate information. Does the Vitamin Shoppe brand of Spirulina have information on where they received the ingredients? How do i know if what i purchase, was made in a "safe place" ...the packaging obviously doesn't provide that information.
